Besides the inferential errors that abound in the interpretation of p-values, the probabilistic pre-conditions (i.e. random sampling or equivalent) for using them at all are not often met by observa-tional studies in the social sciences. This paper systematizes different sampling designs and discusses the restrictive requirements of data collection that are the sine-qua-non for using p-values.

This chapter surveys methodologies employed in the study of management ideas. It emphasizes the field’s rich variety of data collection, measurement, and inferential strategies. To map this landscape, the authors group studies by the number of cases they examine, from large N event history analyses based on archival data to ethnographies of a single organization. They give particular attention to bibliometrics and discourse analysis because these methods grapple with the interpretive and communicative processes that are central to management ideas and because techniques for capturing and analysing text are currently being revolutionized across the social sciences.

Methodological Approaches

Following the argument for the importance of comparative participant observation for approaches descendent from the conventional scientific tradition (CST), this chapter outlines how the behavioralist foundations summarized in chapter 1 translate to procedures and techniques for charting causal mechanisms in comparative ethnographic research. The chapter begins by examining the practices and techniques of the behavioralist approach in detail and describes the mode of research design, sampling, data collection, analysis, and explanation associated with this approach, giving examples from prior empirical works. The chapter then turns to longstanding concerns about ethnographic reliability and replication and explains how this approach addresses them. In doing so, it shows how behavioralist criteria align with, and diverge from, other methodological approaches to the collection, analysis, and extension of ethnographic data. The chapter concludes by explaining the contributions that can be made by repositioning participant observation within the spectrum of approaches to understanding causal processes in the social sciences.

Data collection techniques using a questionnaire. The instrument trials use the validlty test and the reliabllity test. Data analysls techniques include analysis prerequisite tests which include normality and linearity tests. Hypothesis testing uses multiple regression tests with a significant level of 5%. Bassed on the resuIts of the study lt can be concledud as follows: I.) students' perceptions about entrepreneurship courses with a high category there are 61 (55.97%) students are 48 (44.03%) and in the low category there is none. 2.) social envronment with a high category does not exist, in the medium category there are 102 (93.58%) students and in the low category there are 7 (6.42%). 3.) interest in entrepreneurship with a high category there are 27 (24.78%) students are 82 (75.22%) and in the low category there are none. 4.) students' perceptions about entrepreneurship courses and the social envlronment have a posltive and signlficant effect simuItaneously or simultaneously on entrerpeneurial interest which is indicated by the caIculated F vaIue> F tabIe = 40.946> 3.080 and sig. 0.00 < 0.05, it can be concIuded that students' perceptions about entrepreneurship courses (X1) and social environment (X2) simultaneously influence the interest in entrepreneurship (Y).

Despite their long trajectory in the social sciences, few systematic works analyze how often and for what purposes focus groups appear in published works. This study fills this gap by undertaking a meta-analysis of focus group use over the last 10 years. It makes several contributions to our understanding of when and why focus groups are used in the social sciences. First, the study explains that focus groups generate data at three units of analysis, namely, the individual, the group, and the interaction. Although most researchers rely upon the individual unit of analysis, the method’s comparative advantage lies in the group and interactive units. Second, it reveals strong affinities between each unit of analysis and the primary motivation for using focus groups as a data collection method. The individual unit of analysis is appropriate for triangulation; the group unit is appropriate as a pretest; and the interactive unit is appropriate for exploration. Finally, it offers a set of guidelines that researchers should adopt when presenting focus groups as part of their research design. Researchers should, first, state the main purpose of the focus group in a research design; second, identify the primary unit of analysis exploited; and finally, list the questions used to collect data in the focus group.

For over a half-century, psychologists, educators, and researchers have criticized the common misuses of statistics in the social sciences. Here, I summarize some of the various objections to the blind use of p-values and propose simple adjustments to 1) ameliorate the weaknesses inherent in current statistical practice, and 2) to paint a more complete picture of a study’s results.
